This post is a techy one, so if you don't write AIR apps or if you think this wouldn't be enough to show off during coffee break I recommend something funnier. › Continue reading...
Hey! I'm having a survey, wanna fill it?
During the last couple of months I've been working on a free AIR app for a French community-based site called Weecast. Its purpose is to allow users to submit and/or buy screencasts about your favorite apps and languages (mostly Adobe's and Microsoft's, but also 3D ones', OS's and more).
Introducing the Weecast Player!
The app allows you to browse your videos, watch them (4 view modes), search for more, drop comments and stars... I think that's called an RIA, right? There's also an offline mode, so you can access all your stuff anytime. › Continue reading...
If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to apply a gradient on a Flex Label, well it is ; but that's not very straight forward... As I'm working on a app that requires this kind of glitter I decided to try and see what could be done.
I started with a basic ActionScript project (no Flex involved) and came up with this. Quite functional, could probably be optimized but my goal was actually a Flex component and I knew that was technically feasible. I then simply extended Flex's Label class and basically copied/pasted the logic into it. Just had to figure out which event to listen to and I was good to go...
Here's a demo app for your playing pleasure.
You may notice that in this example I embed the font so it looks nicer, but this is not mandatory...
All this is opensource (class+project) and you can grab it at my brand new Google Code dump: as3-bits. Help yourself.
As always, feedback welcome.
Introducing Boks, my latest and most ambitious AIR app to this day!
Do you design web pages? Do you write HTML and CSS? Ever heard about the Grid System and Blueprint CSS? Thought it was a pain to implement? Think again, fool! › Continue reading...
I recently released FFFFOUND Desktop, this AIR app uses a home-made API that I'm open sourcing today. The code is hosted on Google Code and is available via SVN, I also uploaded a zip archive if you prefer.
You'll find the (asdocs) docs in the repository and in the archive.
Finally a new AIR app! It's called FFFFOUND Desktop and if you like FFFFOUND you'll love it.
More info on the projet's page, as usual. › Continue reading...
An important update (1.2) to WebKut has just been released! You can now publish your "Kuts" to your flickr account...
I will release the code of WebKut's flickr part my AIR utils pretty soon. I might also add this publish option to Shrink O'Matic, too. Still thinking about the UI for this one.
This "post to flickr" option is still bêta and you will probably notice some issues, if so, please drop your feedback in the comments. One thing I know is that special characters will look odd on the flickr side... Working on that.
Here is Shrink O'Matic, my new AIR application!
Simply drag and drop images on it and they'll be resized as you wish.
More info on the project page...
Introducing WebKut, my first useful AIR application!
Basically this is a screenshot tool aimed at web pages.
But you'll find more info on the project page. Tell me what you think!
